all systems go

so, i finally talked with boss man #1, and he was very supportive of my decision. even though it is a bummer work is so slow, it's convenient when justifying a two month bicycle adventure. i think my boss is pretty jealous of the trip. in the past few days, we've had several discussions about my plan and he's full of logistical and technical questions. typical engineers...

six days until my flight, and a whole bunch of loose ends to tie up. that's ok. only one critical item is missing, and hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

this is actually going to happen. wow.
